Assets are recorded at the price that was paid (cost).
Probably only about 25% or less than you paid for it. Computers depreciate in value faster than cars.
By allowing businesses to depreciate their assets faster, the government (IRS) provides an incentive for firms to replace their assets quicker. This in turn stimulates the economy as firms are spending on capital expenditures more often.
Current assets is when you own something and it can be paid back in less than a year. Current liabilities is what you owe to someone that has to paid back in less than a year.

One's financial assets are becoming less than what is due in bills.
Capital assets, also known as long-term assets or fixed assets, are tangible assets that a company acquires and holds for extended periods to generate income and support its operations. These assets typically have a useful life of more than one year and are not intended for immediate resale. Examples of capital assets include land, buildings, machinery, equipment, vehicles, and furniture. Companies depreciate these assets over time to account for their wear and tear, and they are an essential part of a company's financial health and operational capabilities.
There are two types of asset accounts Current Assets (assets expected to be used up or easily liquidated in one year or less) and Long-term assets, (including PP&E) assets that can not or are not expected to be used up or easily liquidated in less than a year.
verb- to regard or portray as less impressive or important than appearances indicate; depreciate; disparage. Synonyms:minimize, decry, deprecate, deride, scorn, dismiss.

A quick ratio is something used in financial accounting. It is equal to your quick assets (cash and accounts receivable) divided by your current liabilities. If it is greater than 1.0 then your financial statements are looking good because you have more assets than liabilities and are therefore (hopefully) making revenue. If it is less than 1.0 than your liabilities outweigh your assets and your business could be headed for failure.
A plant asset is an asset such as land, buildings, and machinery that will be useful for more than one year and is used to help produce revenues for a business. Plant assets are also known as fixed assets. Revaluation of plant/fixed assets is the process of increasing or decreasing their carrying value in the event of major changes in the fair market value of the assets.
